English:

Reusable Hemp products to substitute single use items used on a daily basis when shopping, in the kitchen and for household in general.

"NORDICAS, Naturally Hemp" is a joint design project between Charlotte Houman, Textile Designer (www.charlottehouman.com) and Lone Eidseth, founder of wrapped in NAture. We use European hemp which is knitted at a family owned knitting company in a rural area in western part of Spain.

We have chosen to design and work with HEMP, because;

- it is the worlds oldest crop and it is grown, spun and knitted in Europe, reducing the carbon footprints.

- it is sustainable grown, with no need for pesticides and grows on significantly less water than cotton.

- it is a fiber which is naturally antibacterial and absorbs water better than cotton, therefore ideal as for example kitchen dishcloth.

- even when spun very thin it is an extremely strong and durable fiber, therefore ideal as net produce bags for unpacked grocery shopping, since the bags are strong but very lightweight, not adding to the weight of the produce.

Each yarn ball is weighed to be either a Small, Medium or Large sack (if wanted the Small and the Medium yarn ball can also be made together to a Large sack). The patterns for the sacks comes in a knitted or a crochet version. To minimize packaging this DIY kit is packed in a handmade bag made of European Hemp fabric and if needed, it will be sent in a compostable envelope of recycled paper sewn together with GOTS certificate Organic Cotton.

The handmade Hemp Fabric Bag can be used to:

Store your produce sacks when carrying it in a bag,

Or as a produce bag when buying unpacked nuts, seeds, legumes etc.,

Or as a sprouting bag for seeds, beans etc.

Hemp yarn is a very strong type of fibre and at the same time thin, therefore these hemp sacks are perfect to always carry in a bag taking up very little space and being very light. Hemp is a very old crop and one of the most sustainable to grow, as the plant needs very little water compared other crops and it is naturally resistant to most pests, herbicides, fungicides.

Recommendations:

The cloth is rib-knitted and will spread out to a square form when used. We recommend to wet or wash the cloth before use, which will soften the hemp fibers. It can be machine washed at 30-40 degrees and will feel a bit rough after each wash, but will quickly soften once it is in use again.
